The former Vice President wrote: “The continued detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains an open sore on our nation’s conscience and a stain on our belief in the rule of law”.
“Defying court orders that granted him bail is an abuse of power and an assault on justice.

“We fail as patriots if we allow Kanu’s case to fester as yet another wound this nation refuses to heal”, according to Atiku.
